Production Readiness Audit for MVPs and AI-built applications
Is your application ready for real users and production data? We assess MVPs, internal tools and AI-generated applications before go-live. You receive a prioritised list covering authentication, data, security, tests, deployment and operations, with a clear decision on what must be completed first.
Companies worldwide trust WZ-IT
A reliable go-live list, not a generic code review
The audit connects application and operations. This exposes not only code issues but also missing backups, unclear secrets, weak permissions and deployments that cannot be controlled safely.
Prioritised risks
Blockers, high risks and later improvements are separated, explained and ordered by urgency.
Testable operating path
Deployment, environments, logging, monitoring, backup and rollback are assessed as one production path.
Concrete next step
You receive effort ranges and a clear recommendation for hardening, rework, operations or a deeper architecture audit.
Review the areas where fast prototypes fail in production
Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Base44 and modern frameworks create visible results quickly. Production readiness still requires controlled data flows, permissions, testing and operations.
Auth and permissions
Review sign-in, roles, tenant isolation, session handling and critical access paths.
Data and secrets
Assess data model, input validation, sensitive data, keys, environment variables and storage locations.
Dependencies and security
Review dependencies, known vulnerabilities, security headers and obvious misconfigurations.
Tests and failure paths
Assess critical flows, error handling, data-loss risks and existing automated tests.
Deployment and operations
Assess CI/CD, environments, logging, monitoring, backup, rollback and responsibilities.
Go-live plan
Prioritise findings as blockers, high risks and later improvements and add effort ranges.
Clear boundary
The audit is an assessment, not hidden implementation
- Remediation of every finding or complete further development of the application
- Penetration testing with exploitation, social engineering or assessment of third-party infrastructure
- Legal advice or formal certification under GDPR, ISO 27001 or sector-specific rules
- A guarantee of error-free operations without implementation and retesting
Fast enough for an MVP, thorough enough for a decision
We start with business logic and sensitivity. Code and operations are then checked against the risks of the specific product.
- 01
Capture context
Users, data, critical flows, platform and planned operations are clarified in a kick-off.
- 02
Assess application
Repository, configuration, dependencies, data paths, tests and deployment are analysed.
- 03
Prioritise findings
Risks are ordered by impact, probability and required effort.
- 04
Make go-live decision
The results workshop defines blockers, the sensible order and the right implementation path.
Two audit depths
Review a small product quickly or assess the full architecture
Compact answers the go-live question for one clearly bounded application. Architecture adds system design, scaling, technical debt and an operations concept.
Compact Audit
€1,490
excluding VAT, one-off
For one small application with a clearly bounded repository and manageable architecture.
- Assessment of the six core areas
- Prioritised go-live list
- Effort ranges for each measure
- Results workshop within 5 business days
Architecture Audit
€4,900
excluding VAT, one-off
For applications with several services, integrations or increased scaling and operations requirements.
- Everything in the Compact Audit
- Architecture and technical debt
- Scaling, CI/CD and operations concept
- Management summary and technical workshop
Before commissioning, we review the repository, system boundaries and required audit depth. Multiple applications or unusually large codebases are scoped separately.
Suitable before go-live, investment or takeover
- An MVP will work with real users or production data for the first time
- An AI-generated or low-code application should run independently
- Risks and technical debt are needed before further investment
- An existing application will be taken over by a new team or operator
What we need for the audit
- Access to the repository and relevant configuration
- A short demo of the most important user and business flows
- An overview of data, integrations and planned hosting
- A technical contact for questions and the results workshop
WZ-IT can continue directly with the prioritised measures
The audit remains independently usable. If you need support, we take over hardening, further development, deployment and ongoing operations with the same technical context.
Prototype to Production
Take over Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit or Base44 applications and make them production-ready in a controlled way.
View takeover serviceModernise the application
Stabilise and evolve architecture, data model, auth, interfaces and code step by step.
View modernisationHosting and operations
Have deployment, monitoring, updates, backups and agreed response handled permanently.
View managed operationsRequest an audit
Which application needs to become production-ready?
Tell us the platform, current state and intended use. We will check whether Compact is sufficient or Architecture is appropriate.
Frequently asked questions about the Production Readiness Audit
Applications, audit depth, code access and subsequent implementation
A conventional code review focuses mainly on source code, while a vibe-code audit targets common risks in AI-generated applications. Our Production Readiness Audit combines both with data, deployment, monitoring, backup, rollback and ownership. It is therefore an application review of the complete go-live path.
We assess web applications, APIs, internal tools, SaaS MVPs and AI-generated applications. This includes projects built with Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit or Base44 as well as conventionally developed React, Next.js, Node, PHP and Python applications.
No. The audit reviews code, configuration and operational readiness from a risk perspective, but does not include comprehensive offensive security testing with exploitation. A penetration test can be scoped separately if required.
Compact focuses on the critical go-live areas of one small, clearly bounded application. Architecture adds system design, integrations, scaling, technical debt, CI/CD and a sustainable operations concept.
A reliable code and configuration assessment requires time-limited access to the relevant repository. Access scope, confidentiality and working method are agreed before the audit starts.
Yes, if requested, but separately from the audit. This keeps the findings independently understandable and lets you decide which measures are implemented by WZ-IT, your current team or another provider.
Yes. We can take over deployment, infrastructure, monitoring, updates, backups and agreed response. Operations require the relevant blockers to be remediated and retested first.

“With Timo and Robin, you're not only on the safe side technically - you also get the best human support! Whether it's quick help in everyday life or complex IT solutions: the guys from WZ-IT think along with you, act quickly and speak a language you understand. The collaboration is uncomplicated, reliable and always on an equal footing. That makes IT fun - and above all: it works! Big thank you to the team! (translated)”

“Communication with WZ-IT was open, friendly and professional from the very beginning. Mr. Wevelsiep and Mr. Zins responded to every one of our questions patiently, promptly and respectfully, and contributed their own suggestions and good ideas on how to modernize our server infrastructure and adapt it even better to our needs. Throughout, WZ-IT consistently kept our need for data sovereignty and GDPR compliance in mind. Even short-notice adjustments and change requests from our side were implemented quickly and patiently and integrated consistently into the overall concept. From planning to the final handover, every step was documented transparently and comprehensively - so if a provider change should ever become necessary, the documentation would let us onboard a successor into our infrastructure very quickly. We are extremely satisfied with WZ-IT and hope to continue working together for a long time.”
